Texas Department of Public Safety - Organization

Organization

The governing body of the Department of Public Safety is a five member Public Safety Commission, with all members being appointed by the Governor of Texas. The Commission is responsible for appointing the Director of the Department. The Director is assisted in managing the Department by two Deputy Directors and several Division Directors. Most Division report to the Director through one of the two Deputy Directors, however, the Texas Rangers Division, the Emergency Management Division and the Legal Affairs Division all report directly to the Director.

The Commission also appoints an Inspector General to act as an inspector for the Department, and a Chief Audit Executive as part of the internal audit department known as the Chief Auditor's Office, who are both independent of the Director.

    “When a man’s partner’s killed, he’s supposed to do something about it. It doesn’t make any difference what you thought of him, he was your partner and you’re supposed to do something about it. As it happens, we’re in the detective business; well, when one of your organization gets killed, it’s, it’s bad business to let the killer get away with it. Bad all around. Bad for every detective everywhere.”
    —John Huston (1906–1987)

    “The only thing that’s been a worse flop than the organization of non-violence has been the organization of violence.”
